Frustrated that prominent Democrats have not fought harder, former President Barack Obama said in a speech that his party’s leaders needed to step up.
Former President Barack Obama has a stern critique for members of his party: Too many have been cowed into silence.
In private remarks to party donors on Friday night, Mr. Obama scolded Democrats for failing to speak out against President Trump and his policies, suggesting they were shrinking from the challenge out of fear of retribution.
“It’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Mr. Obama said at a fund-raiser for the Democratic National Committee at the home of Gov. Phil Murphy of New Jersey.
“What I have been surprised by is the degree to which I’ve seen people who, when I was president, or progressives, liberals, stood for all kinds of stuff, who seem like they’re kind of cowed and intimidated and shrinking away from just asserting what they believe, or at least what they said they believe,” he added.
Locked out of power in Washington, Democrats have been largely arguing among themselves about how to confront a hostile Trump administration. Mr. Obama’s remarks were circulated by his office on Monday.
He expressed particular disdain for law firms that he said had been willing to “set aside the law” in response to Mr. Trump’s actions “not because, by the way, that they’re going to be thrown in jail, but because they might lose a few clients and might not be able to finish that kitchen rehab at their Hampton house. I’m not impressed.”

Only as long as others do it for him. Zero is a lazy coward.
Wow that is completely the wrong message. They need to do a bill clinton and embrace half the stuff Trump does...then blame Trump for everything that is wrong.
“They bring a knife, you bring a gun..” or something like that…
Soetoro keeping his #JihadJunta enforcement team motivated.
Tougher? You mean like rioting everywhere and maybe shooting law enforcement? Oh, yeah, they’re doing that already because of your incitement, so you’re asking them to do more than shoot at law enforcement? What pray tell, Hussein?
“”who seem like they’re kind of cowed and intimidated and shrinking away from just asserting what they believe, or at least what they said they believe,””
Has the man lost his hearing? His mind?
...... OK .... So I guess Obummer is calling on Democrats to step up the Incarceration and Assassination Attempts against Trump and MAGA faithfuls ...... Yup .... Got it ...... He won't be happy until the streets are running red with conservative blood .....

Be more violently tranny/gay/marxist/muslim/terrorist! Yeah, that’s the ticket.

WILL SOMEONE BUY HIM A TICKET TO THE OPIUM FIELDS IN AFGHANISTAN?
‘ WILL SOMEONE BUY HIM A TICKET TO THE OPIUM FIELDS IN AFGHANISTAN?’
Mmm, opium. Buy me a ticket too.
HE SHOULD BE GONE!!
Translation: “My Black-Gay-Tranny legacy is dying....SAVE ME”
How about working with the President, bozo?
They have vilified him, called him stupid, conceited, a big mouth, a rapist, a convict, Hitler, Fascist, impeached him twice, and tried to kill him twice.
How much tougher, Barry? You gonna hit him with your purse?
Heck the DemonRATs are already shooting at Trump and the people working for him, how much tougher can they get?
Maybe they can get some cannons and start firing on a military base. Or round up some of the counterband that they want back and put them to work in the pot fields to give their replacement voters a vacation.
Obozo would piss himself if Trump challenged him to prove his own BS or stfu.
O-hole needs to be in cuffs.
Once again, democraps have missed the point. They have offered nothing to help the American people. Nothing. They lie, cheat, steal, rig, and bully themeselves into office and everything is for illegal aliens and perverts trying to trans kids.
Obama doesn’t understand why Trump isn’t like GWB.
